[QUOTE="ccs, post: 7166000, member: 6803664"] Overall; Classes: None at the moment in 5e. That'll change the day psionics enter the picture. I don't like psionics, so they just don't exist in my games. Races: Drow. I like the Drow just fine - as the evil spider-demon worshiping NPC villains they were meant to be. I really dislike them as PCs. Drizz't? That's a tall tale told by bards. So I warn new players to my games up front that if they make a Drow they WILL be treated as the monster the world thinks they are. Doesn't matter what their alignment, class, backstory, etc is. They will be hunted down & killed. Nobody will listen when they feebly object "But I'm a GOOD Dro....." Because lying about & hiding their alignment is [I]exactly[/I] what these evil fey would do. You can make a Drow. And this is what will happen. Other "monster" races - I'm not a fan of using the MM as an auxiliary PHB. So kobolds, goblins, hobgoblins, gnolls, etc etc etc? There's degrees, but most will meet similar fates as Drow PCs. Monsters are things you go kill & loot, not raise a pint with in the tavern. And things like vampires, Mind[B]f[/B]layers, & such? Not in my game. Campaign specific: Depends. I might add or or delete options as fits. But no Drow & no psionics are a constant. [I]Edit: There, fixed that typo.[/I] [/QUOTE]
